All in the Family featured the curmudgeonly Archie Bunker. Archie was television’s most famous grouch, blunt, blustering, straightforward and untouched by the PC crowd. He was the archetype of the conservative male. Michael desprately tried to reeducate him, but he persisted in his breviloquence.

Looking back at the last 40 years, we realize: ARCHIE WAS RIGHT!

Learning Softball At one point during a game, the coach said to one of her young players, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"

The little girl nodded with affirmation.

"Do you understand that what matters most is whether we play together as a team and put forth our best effort?"

The little girl nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "When a strike is called, or you're out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all of that?"

Again the little girl nodded. "Good," said the coach, "Now go over there and explain it to your mother."
